You know it now occurs to me that we have both Ronin and Brass Shield on our side for the GDT mission.

Also: I dunno if anyone said this out loud, but... Zeno was probably rung trash?
 
I just had a thought: what if what we were picking wasn't something related to Yara's power, but to what Fill-In Issue we're getting ?
I remember other people saying this, though I don't remember their reasoning.
He's pretty powerful, even more than Novalight from a Potency standpoint, plus it's possible he used his connections among them to get the DU into Elysium.
 
Maddie basically lived through FNaF back in that apartment building... or maybe it was more tower defence, like Bloons...


I remember other people saying this, though I don't remember their reasoning.
He had way too high Potency that in normal metas probably counts as P13 and one with a powerful Synergy too.

Also he seemed to know and care about Triss that hed ask VG to protect her.

That bit is speculation, but back during the Dynamite vote (when we still didn't know the details of how the shades of the dead would interact with Ellie) Kermie suggested this:

HA: Hello, Ellie. It's good to see you.
Apiary: We're here to help you kill Harper's worst nightmare.
Ellie: Who's that last guy?
HA: he's just there for moral support.
Ellie: lmao fr?
Zeno: do your thing girl

And Bitterman said this:
He'd probably ask you to protect Triss or kill Octavius.
So he definitely has some connection to the Ladder-children. Maybe it's just as simple as 'the Defiance Unit met them on their way to attack Elysium Station'. But yeah, who knows, maybe he was one of them.
 
Something I've been wondering about for a while is, how did Zeno even die? His power should mean he couldn't be touched either by behemoths or Goldnine, so what happened?
 
"Your life is as worthless as a summer ant!" is the best insult I've ever seen and I'm adding it to my vocabulary.
Least insane LTG rant, BTW.

He can either only protect himself or others and can't do both at once. Additionally there might be powers that do not travel along a spatial medium, or at least not normally; Telepathy might be able to affect him, and theoretically Doctor Silver could just spawn a shield around his head.

I wonder how SM killed Zeno because how would SM really get close to do damage
like Zeno should have been able to freeze him in time and like run away
something with the absorbing part of SM's power?

Probably should wait for the fill-in issue on the DU and find out

I think Bitterman already said that Zeno had already used up all of his power before Scarlet Maturity even GOT to the Defiant Unit. So it was less Zeno's power didnt work and more like the Mage of the party ran out of MP half way into a boss rush. And then one of the Evil Generals in the Evil army got to them saw the weakened heroes and went "Your extended life warranty has ended".

Edit: People have talked about this topic before, more than once I think...

Honestly even with all the info to be cleaned from the other ones, Flight of the Bumblebee might be what I got for just for more insight into Apiary. The flashback from Red Huntress's POV really did show that she was as sweet and kind as everyone said, and I want more. I want to know why Scarlet Maturity respected her. Given how it's split, I will assume that there is less Horae Guard and Defiance Unit and Elysium content to be moved to Egg of the King but even still, I'm curious.

huh, I definitely missed that, but it definitely doesn't say anything about that in the profile, which is what I've mostly looked at
 
There are some who say that the more tags a dose has, weaker will be the power manifested for each, as to not breach some hypothetical Potency 13 limit. So, following this logic, what would be the build with the least amount of tags? Behold:

The Phoenix
Automne 8
Deadman 5

Just Elemental Manipulation, Regeneration and Flight. As many tags as Daggermaw at 12 times the Potency! And well, control of wind and fire plus the ability to come back from the dead does result in an obvious theme. Luckily I think it's an extremely cool one.

If we include "synergy tags" we also have:

A Greek Hero (plus millions)
Zeno 9
Antaneus 3
Millions Minefield 1

Space-Time Manipulation, Invulnerability, Energy Manipulation. Antaneus' invulnerability requires he stay stationary while Zeno prevents people from reaching him, plus Antaneus essentially generates energy through his quakes while Millions Minefield lets that energy be shaped into constructs and may allow him to absorb attacks from others. Surprisingly synergistic.

Wind Nail
Automne 8
Epoxy 5

Fundamental Force Manipulation, Elemental Manipulation and Flight. I'm kind of less sure what this would do exactly; it might let someone make wind behave as if it were solid or liquid, or it might go in the opposite direction and let your wind blasts disintegrate people by weakening their molecular bonds. My least favorite of the proposals, to be honest.
 
It was mostly in response to people asking the same thing as you and "it's in Flight of the Bumblebee" not being satisfying enough.
Thanks

I some other aspect of absorption was my only idea really, would be interesting but probably too powerful - something we could make if we kill SM and get a DNA profile? (I wonder what keywords he has)

Funny enough The Phoenix would probably be great to counter ash knight.
 
I was under the assumption that "fuck all of those guys" was Augur and his team and not the other Hours?
He was referring to the Hours and August both.

It's more than the powerset is better defined, so I have less room to fudge it for cool things. Like with her light speed dash, Mona functionally has enhanced speed and senses, even if it's a consequence of her flight and invulnerability mixed with FFM.
 
Huh, nice to have confirmation on that. I was already in agreement with @Namer that the Horae Guards likely sent the Penitent Scholar more as an act against the Augur. Even under the risk that Yara falls under Justice Unlimited, a growing notable threat to them, and letting PS do whatever he wants, they might've still deemed it necessary to keep Augur in check since even if PS isn't cooperative, they at least would ensure the Augur doesn't get what he wants.

Gaining Augur's cooperation would likely gain us a higher chance on ensuring Yara, Lady Leizi, Katie, Baba Yaga, and Châtelet's safety than PS, but would have high long-term risks in return. PS may have some ways to help us, but in a more limited manner than Augur since he can only do so much with his powers in the realm of the Frozen Throne. I'm not gonna dismiss the possibility that PS might do something that will go against our wishes, but I am gonna trust that he is speaking truthfully, to the letter at least.
